Topic: What are you doing with your ebody this weekend? (Read 415957 times)

Drove the 72 shaker cuda around today. found an old junk yard. Ended up buying 2 rust free doors for my dodge truck for 70 bucks complete. bought a heavy duty chrome rear bumper for 25 bucks and a reese trailer hitch off the truck for 25 bucks. The paint on the doors was the same color as mine Also found a 62 dart, 71 dart, and a 68 1 ton dodge truck. It was a good day

Mr. Gasket 180* T-stat #4367 from JEGS... Chrome shroud from Amazon (Trans Dapt #9454) it looks good, is cheap & free shipping. It's not a full shroud, but should still help direct airflow. Will post a pic this weekend.

I have a million little things things to do this weekend. I need to make and install a gas tank filler tube to body gasket so my trim ring fits snugly. Then replace the filler tube to tank seal. Also I need to clean out the trunk and look into fixing a cracked filler tube trunk seal. Then paint the flip top gas cap base black. Under the car I need to fix up my kickdown linkage and install the spring up by the carb. Up front I need to put on the new lug nuts and unilug spacers for my Keystone Klassics. After all that I need to install the drivers side front turn signal lens, and paint the rear spoiler. While the pain is in the gun I'll paint the grille black ala R/T after I polish the shiny bits. If I have time I need to repaint the black on my rims. Then.... take apart and inspect my remote mirror to see if I can get it to work. Then I'll do the tighten up on the pass side mirror so it stays in place. I also need to install my Grans Spaulding Dodge lic plate frame and Scat Pack decals in the qtr windows. If I have the time I'll check out the leak by the trans, and install a shift kit and change the trans fluid. Also add a qt of oil while the hood is up. While I am down by the lic plate I need to install the right hardware for my rear valence. It's loose on one end and fitting poorly.

I hope I can get some of that stuff done this weekend. I'll need to get a MC ride in as well. It's supposed to be nice at the beach and that means the bikinis will be out in force.

I'm gonna put the interior back together after an engineer inspected the new mouting points for the front and rear seatbelts (crazy Australian law). Then set the valve lash as a bit of general maintanence. Then hopefully sometime this week we'll be off to get a roadworthy cert. (another Aussie road law) to get it registed and plated and then on the road for some cruise time.
